The crowded riot or the riot in the crowd (Tepito-México D.F.)

Abstract

After the dizziness of diving in Mexico City, that contains all of Ecuador inhabitants in a much smaller territory, and searching for this place’s voice, I surfaced in Tepito.  This ia a rarely visited by tourists neighborhood that embodies Mexican and Chilanga identity of “hoarding”. This is irresponsible and unnecessary photo compilation, it does not have a social side, but it seeks pure aesthetic pleasure. Nevertheless, and with a strong political stand, this series is not documental, although it documents life in Tepito by not showing life itself, and based on its memory, it exposes its tight existence.

Key words: Tepito, d.f. México, visual studies, abstract photography, accumulation, tight, urban.
